A specimen book of ornamental border matrices and matrix slides for the Linotype composing linecaster. This is the April 1929 reprint (printing code: 350.01). It is very similar to the 1928 edition, and much of this material appears at least as early as the 1923 edition. It includes an insert of "Garamond Decorative Material Designed by T. M. Cleland and also a two-page insert (printing code 350.12) of "A New Group of Linotype Matrix Slides" which was not present in the 1928 edition. Note: The quality of this scan leaves much to be desired. It was done hastily, the borrowed original was not in the best condition, and it was done in greyscale rather than RGB. It should be considered a stand-in for a better scan at some future date.

The 150 dpi (effective) PDF version here is not really of sufficiently high resolution. The 600dpi version is much better, but it is 867 Megabytes, which at present is too large for reasonable downloading. As an alternative, I've split the 600dpi version up into smaller sections for easier downloading. For this split version, see the Internet Archive page at:

Notes

This catalogue was scanned at 600dpi RGB and converted to JPEG images. It has been uploaded in PDF format at two resolutions: 100 percent and (reduced in software to) 25 percent. The 100 percent version may be distinguished by "0600" encoded in its filenames, the 50 percent version by "0150". If you "hover over" the "Read Online" links to the left or follow the "All Files: HTTPS" link, you will see the two sets of files. The "PDF" files are the original uploaded files; the "PDF with text" files are automatically derived files which are searchable but which have lower-resolution processed page images.

If you are reading this book online, the 600dpi version is by far the better one to view.
